Use of nicotine pouches for attempting tobacco cessation or switching was more common among individuals who had engaged with FDA-approved cessation treatments and those with social networks that included pouch users. These findings suggest that NPs are being used alongside traditional cessation treatments and their use may be influenced by social exposure.
